Have people been getting their packages in a reasonable amount of time? I remember that it was backed up for a bit.

Sister tried on the bra...
AND IT FITS!!!!!!!!!! *trumpets sound, village erupts in cheers*
It is sooo beautiful! She's in there all the way! The gore tacks! No quadboob! Mom's uncomfortable with the fact that she has boobs and a cute bra at that, but I think she's just not used to seeing my sister with supported boobs.
32G, Freya Patsy, blesséd be the bra. Can I take pictures and put them on here? She's 15.
I did good, y'all, I did good.Filed under Bras ups and downs

That is amazing! It is always amazing when you find a new pretty bra and it fits perfectly! And you are a great sister getting her into the right sized bras.
Jj, can you answer this wonderful sister's question?
-
Congrats! :)
The easiest thing to do is to add the bra here, add pics and measurements of the bra and you'd be good.
What I'd recommend though is just go ahead and create a separate account on her behalf, that you can manage for her. There you can add her real profile measurements, and add the bra for her as well and set fit information under her particular measurements, pictures and all. If she wants to you can give the account to her or you can just do it for her. I know a couple of people that did that for their mothers.
Keep in mind that even when you add the bra to her account, you can still add the very same bra on your account and indicate how it fit (or didn't) fit you. That is also good information.

Bra Tragedy
My Olivia arrived. I . . kinda quad in it. The top is stretchy material, but much less open, and it digs in to the top of my larger breast. It also is not as firm on the sides, since the material is stretchier, so it does seem slightly less front-and-center. But i could live with that if I didnt bulge above the cup.
I almost start to wonder if I'm growing again? This is nuts.
Full pics and measurements and maybe a fit request . . . uh . . after I do taxes lol.Filed under Bras ups and downs

I actually just tried this on at Nordstrom's yesterday and the sales woman told me that it ran small so I found the best fit in one cupsize up from the size I wore in the envy, I have not tried the floris so I cannot compare it to that fit

I HATE returns and exchanges. Gah.

I hope you find it, I own one and it is one of my favorites. It is a bit more forgiving in the band.

I love the look of this bra! I would love one in 60G/H if anyone had those sizes!

Spilling
I think it only takes about 2 hours for me to start spilling out of the top of my 70HH - Ewa Michalak » Bm Bibi Beżowa Perła (533) , and needing to reverse-scoop-and-swoop to get me back all the way in. Does this mean its too small, or is it just because my soft boobs spill ... out of low-cut bras? Any ideas?
I keep meaning to post a post asking how much adjusting of straps and cups is normal throughout the day . . . teh strap on my smaller side never seems to stay up . . .

What do you do if...
...you find a bra that would probably be perfect for you, but you hate the color or the print?
Filed under Bras ups and downs
9 comments
-
I am experiencing that right now! A bra that should be perfect for me only comes in red and I hate red. I am not ordering it because it's expensive and I still have a lot of other options to try first.
-
It depends, are we talking about a situation where I have tons of great options that fit and look nice? Or are we talking dire straits? Right now I'm super hard to fit, so frankly I'd be an idiot to pass up a perfectly fitting bra that feels good and looks great under clothes, just because of how it looks when uncovered. But at other times when I was an easier to fit size, sure, I regularly ignored bras that fit because they weren't pretty, or were a color I didn't like/need, or looked a bit cheaply made for som reason. It's all relative IMO.
I would give the same advice to other people too. If you have lots of options and want to be selective, sure. But if you post here saying "Hi, I'm a size 24M (or 56A) and there are exactly 2 bras in existence that fit me and look nice, but I won't wear them because I don't like white/purple/etc." I'm gonna advise you to rethink.

Purchase excitement and wishes
So far two of the bras I ordered have been returned, one is a tentative "keep," and the Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) and the Midnight Grace Paige Italian Lace Half Cup Bra (123100) are on their way.
Over the weekend I ordered Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) (30C) and ... class="mentioned-item">Cleo Minnie Balconnet Bra (7431) (30C) to compare the wire width and overall fit to my 30C - Cleo » Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) . Besides, I looooove my Cleo 30B bras except for the cups being too small.
I also found a Panache Tango Accenti Balconnet Bra (7331) in 28D but I have a feeling the cups are going to be too deep.
I am also stalking certain Mimi Holliday unpadded bras, they are hard to find and pricey! A helpful user has pointed me in this direction, the wires are probably narrow enough for me, so it will be worth it!
My budget needs a breather but if I have to do a lot more returns after everything arrives, I'll be picking up a Claudette Dessous Mesh Underwire Bra (CD2000) in 30C and 30D to hopefully pick the one that fits best and return the other.
If I could bring one bra back from the dead, it would be the Claudette Paramour Underwire Bra (101015008) . I love mine but it is getting old and stretched out. I want there to be sizes and colors available, but it's been discontinued for so long that you can't even find them on discount sites/Amazon/ebay. Booooo.

EM Parcel Tracking- How?
I'm new to ordering Polish and placed my first order roughly 10 days ago (yay!). I did e-mails keeping me up to date on the payment processing through Paypal and then a final one saying my order shipped.
I'm super excited but the only problem is the "Track Parcel" button doesn't do anything!
My guess was that maybe it's not ... functional until the parcel arrives in the states and I can track via USPS? Orrrrr that button just doesn't work? I know that it would take some time for the parcel to get here but I'm just curious to where it is.
I've seen others say they've e-mailed and gotten a reliable tracking number. If I send an e-mail, does it have to be in Polish and is it a specific e-mail addy on the site I'm looking for?

You have to email them and ask for the tracking number. The same number will work in the polish and the US system. Shipping can take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks though . . . good luck being patient!
-
Yeah its not really a button. Its trickery haha. You have to email and its usually best to give it a few days first or they may tell you its 'not available yet'. Of course at 10 days its been plenty of time. You can speak in english! EM has english speaking customer service :) (sklep@ewa-michalak.pl) They will get back to you pretty quick too! Ive had shipping take as few as 9 days! :) Poland to California. But ive also had an EM package thats been 'in transit' for almost 5 weeks now haha. Its a crazy journey to say the least. Hope it works out for you! :D

I haven't owned a *real* two piece bathing suit for years - my one piece is boring and utilitarian without wires but I like the fact that the mfg (Speedo) came out with its 'conservative' leg cut.

I hurt my knee very bandy in high school and was unable to participate in PE, so my teacher decided that I should go to the public swimming pool and swin a kilometer each week instead in order to get a garde. Well, during one of the first of these sessions I realized that my boobs didn't want to stay in my size S bikini top. I was swimming the rest of that kilometer with one hand holding the bikini in place...

wooo! i love the feeling of snagging a deal on a bra you love, im currently happy dancing over the CK set i hope will fit that was on sale at figleaves. so pretty!
-
Meeeeee too! The part about snagging a deal on bras - or anything to wear from a sweater to shoes and everything worn on part of the body in between!
Re; waiting by the mailbox like a puppy; hopefully like one that behaves better than my dog whenever someone comes to the door! When the postal carrier brought my package from France because I had to sign for it she went nuts and of course getting the door open to pass the thing I needed to sign carried with it the fear of my dog trying to take a bite out of the postal carrier's leg! Did my dog care? No! She was too busy acting rabid.
Depending on how long the shipping takes I sometimes entertain ideas of lying in wait (like in the shrubs a few doors down from my place) to get things in my hands a little sooner...But I don't have the time for stalking that I did when I was younger...

Apr 11, 2015
So I could really use a little help from any bratabase user that owns the tango II balconette and plunge cuts. I need to know which is the taller cut over all. Plunges are low cut in the center but they tend to be very tall where the strap attaches, but the balconette also has a bit of ... a point leading up to strap attachment and I need to know which is lower.
I have a dress with sheer shoulders which is fine but I need a nude bra to go under it. I have the tango plunge in tea rose and love it because plunges are more comfortable on my closest breasts and the strap is perfectly thin and smooth under the dress. However this dress also has a squared off neckline with spaghetti straps on the slip so I need to know which bra is shorter so I can pull the slip a little lower.

Cleo Erin
Full review of Cleo Erin with photos coming later, but I got it yesterday and have worn it for a few hours today. As a fan of Lily (even though it isn't 100% perfect for me), I think I may like Erin even more. It requires some really aggressive scooping and swooping, which I usually don't need to do because ... I have such well defined roots that in a bra with the right depth/width my breasts pretty much fall right into place. It seems to be just a little more full on top friendly than Lily. It does seem firmer, though, so the cup doesn't move around and worsen the pointy-ness and in cup quadding the longer you've had it on. I've also noticed that Lily pulls and wrinkles on my larger breast (especially in the aqua/pink colorway) but Erin doesn't. Possibly the best part is that the gore is just a tiny bit shorter and narrower. So if you need a bit more center full/FOT friendliness than Lily, Erin just might do it.

Comexim Saga...what the heck?!
I'm so confused. I sent the return of my Joy Longline about a month ago. Contacted Comexim this Wednesday to see if they had received it, and Anna said they hadn't! I tried to figure out what was going on; the whole thing was so stressful (and in another language!). Yesterday, I resolved that if Polish post didn't contact me ... back I was just going to forget about it.
Today, a package from Comexim showed up at my door. Behold, the exchange had arrived anyway, without prior notice at all!
But something is wrong. The inside seams aren't finished, there is light staining on a small part of the bra, and the bra is absolutely a cup size wrong (it's like they mislabeled a 70H or HH as a 70G). Augh! I don't know what to do...I feel bad about harassing Anna again. I felt the high of seeing my new Comexim far sooner than I'd hoped crash into a pit of despair since it is so horribly wrong and I will have to start the whole process over again...
I needed to vent this somewhere, bratabase peeps. Thank you, especially those of you that have to wait many weeks for overseas orders, for understanding. :/

OMG how frustrating! I guess this is why a lot of people order their Comexims through a US retailer? I think? I forget the name - wait, wellfitting?
-
My first two Comexims came through Wellfitting. I thought that since the price was more manageable for me, I would order direct this time (plus, they still ship straight from Comexim to your address; they don't really keep stock in California, at least not when I ordered). No problem in getting my first direct order, one of the bras fits like a dream, but trying to do this returns thing is getting ridiculous.

Apr 10, 2015
My wallet is bleeding. Between Spring sales and being hormonal and fed up with my bra situation, I have ordered five bras this week. I am hoping to not have to return at least one of them. Here they are:
Freya Totally Tartan Plunge Balcony Bra (1421) 28D
Justification: Super cute, inexpensive on Amazon, and I want to find out ... if this line of Freyas will work for me. My actual expectation is that it will be too deep in the cup for me to fill out.
Cleo Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) 30C
Justification: I found, like, the ONLY 30C in existence on Amazon. I am convinced that the 30D Cleos would be too deep in the cups for me (without having tried one so who knows). The bird print and bright straps killed me dead. I love a lot of things about the Cleo bras I already have except they are too small, so going up a cup size seems like a reasonable thing to do. I really want this one to fit.
Midnight Grace Paige Italian Lace Half Cup Bra (123100) 30D
Justification: cheap and purple.
Panache Andorra Full Cup Bra (5675) 28D
Justification: someone who looks like maybe my boob twin seems to like it, and the bright blue color was on sale on Amazon.
Curvy Kate Gia Balcony Bra (CK2101) 28D
Justification: the Boysenberry color was on sale on Amazon, so pretty and shiny. I expect the cups to be too deep so yay returns??
I am a little sad that my "recommended" bras on here are all padded/foam lined. I despise padding and foam for my everyday bras. I prefer fun colors and soft textures and I am a hippie who doesn't care if I get high beams (I wear an apron at work anyway).
My comfortable ribcage measurement is about 27.5" and my horizontal breast perimeter is about 7". I don't have a good idea of my shape but I think shallow/not projected a lot is probably accurate. If you know of a great bra please chime in!

Good luck! I too have been on a buying spree! I just bought 3 bras and have bids on 4 on ebay!
-
I think these are really good choices for someone trying to find their perfect size. Trying on all of these in the sizes you selected is going to give you lots of great information and I'd bet at least a couple of them fit great. Lily is one of my favorites and I love Andorra as well. Good luck!

With some kind of jacket on over it, yeah probably! If you end up trying it you should update with a photo of how it looks when trying to make it a daily wear! That would probably make people more interested in buying!

Bravantgarde demi
So yesterday I emailed Wellfitting because I was curious about their demi cuts. I want to try as many styles as I can even if I find they don't work for me. I like the experimenting process
I emailed pictures of my current Comexims, mentioned my fit issues, asked about alterations, and asked ... for a size suggestion. I was happy to see an awesome response this morning. She even took a photo of the Wellfitting Bravantgarde Bra stacked on a longline to show me how the cut is different than the bras I have now! I thought that was pretty awesome Her suggestion was 65M and that the gore can be lowered if I need it. I think I am going to go ahead and try it!

Yes! My last order which shipped from Poland (Comexim) in March took a week to arrive to me in VA.
I am still waiting on 6 bras from Scharminkeltje. The oldest shipping date is 12/04/14; the newest shipping date is 03/20/15.
It may be that it takes longer to pass through customs when coming from an individual, or they may be lost, but I'm still patient and thinking positive. I would NOT consider 4 months to be a reasonable amount of time, though!! :P
